Educational Summer Fun for the Whole Familyby Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger Just because school is out for the summer doesn't mean that your kids have to take a 3-month hiatus from learning. If you are planning a summer road trip across the United States, then consider making a pit stop at some of these educational destinations: WASHINGTON Give your kids a crash course in culture in Tacoma. That's where you'll find the 500-foot Chihuly Bridge of Glass, built by native glass artist Dale Chihuly. The one-of-a-kind stunning blue art piece spans the Thea Foss Waterway and connects the city's three museums -Washington State History Museum, Tacoma Art Museum and the Museum of Glass; admission to all three is free every third Thursday. NORTH DAKOTA You'll never look at metal the same way again after visiting The Enchanted Highway in North Dakota. The road is lined with seven giant metal sculptures by North Dakotan Gary Greff, and includes a bronco-riding cowboy, geese in flight and the "Fisherman's Dream." You can view the eclectic metal masterpieces on the 32-mile route runs from Exit 72 off Interstate 94 east of Dickinson south to the town of Regent. WEST VIRGINIA If you are visiting West Virginia this June you can be one of the first to explore the state's newest museum. The 24,000-square-foot facility, in the cultural center at the state Capitol complex in Charleston, opens June 21. While there you can view the latest technological gems, which embellish exhibits along a chronological path leading from a prehistoric forest through a dark coal mine and into the present. The museum also showcases the state's art, music and industry. WYOMING Horse lovers will get their fill of fillies in Sheridan, where the Big Horn Polo Club - the oldest polo club west of the Mississippi - has matches on Sundays and the Flying H Polo Club has games on Saturdays, with some rehearsals during the week. Admission to the games and practices are free.
